Police Search Student Rooms In Drug Raid

By David A. Demilo

Five Harvard police searched the rooms of three Adams House sophomores last Friday night for illegal drugs, according to sources inside Adams House.

Though the University rooming contract gives Harvard police the right to search student rooms whenever they please, the police nevertheless obtained a search warrant "for controlled substances" in the three undergraduates' rooms.

A search warrant allows the police to use any contraband seized as evidence against the students in a court of law.

Sources say the police "turned the premises inside out," finding small quantities of marijuana in one suite, and marijuana and thai stick in the other. Police also confiscated vials of unidentified pills and powder for laboratory analysis. Police made no arrests.

Harvard police would not comment yesterday on the raid.
